1 Claim.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in ranges, andmore particularly to a range which can be installed in low cost homes,apartments and other places lacking basements for storage purposes, thiswith a View toward having provided in such a dwelling a small store roomfor the storage of fuel, et cetera, and building in the range of thepresent invention so that the major portion thereof will project intosaid storage room, while the front service portion thereof will beexposed through a wall of the usual kitchen.

Therefore, the principal object of the present invention is to provide akitchen range which will take up no space in the usual small kitchen ofa low cost home or apartment due to the fact that its service portion orfront is accessible through an accommodating opening in one wall of thekitchen.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent tothe reader of the following description.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a fragmentary front elevational view showing the rangethrough an opening in a kitchen wall.

Figure 2 is a vertical sectional View showing the range in sideelevation.

Figure 3 is a sectional view taken substantially on line 3 3 of Figure2.

Figure 4 is a sectional View taken substantially on line 4 4 of Figure1.

Referring to the drawings wherein like numerals designate like parts, itcan be seen that Figure 2 which is a vertical section through a Wall 5shows that this wall 5 is formed with an opening B therein toaccommodate the range 1, that is, the range l is situated in a storageroom 8 and has its front or service side projecting into the opening Sand terminating flush with the kitchen side of the wall 5, numeral 9denoting the kitchen.

The range in construction comprises side walls I0, II, a back wall I2and a front made up of a stationary panel I3, a hinged panel I4 and anoven door I5, the panel I4 and door I5 having handles I6 and Il,respectively.

The panel I4 is in front of a warming oven I8 (see Fig. 3) which iscovered by a removable plate I9. Additional removable plates 23, 2I and22 form the stove top and have removable lids 23 thereon.

Porcelain Walls 24 rise above the side walls I0,

II of the stove and a back wall 25 of porcelain rises from the back wallI2, it being understood, of course, that any well finished Wallstructure can be used in place of the wall-s 24, 24, 25. Theselast-mentioned walls are preferably backed by slabs or sheets ofinsulation 25. Suitable studding 21 are employed in the mounting of thewalls and slabs last referred to.

Numeral 28 denotes a metallic canopy having an out-let 29 at its top,this for the purpose of carrying off fumes from the area above therange.

At the side wall I0 is a fuel door 30 preferably having a dampertherein, While at the back wall I2, that is, behind the re box 3l andabove the grate 32, is another fue] door 33. An ash door 34 is locatedlin the back wall I2 below the grate 32.

h elbow 35 extends from the upper portion of the hot air compartment 36,at the back wall I2, and numeral 31 denotes a stack rising from thiselbow 35.

It can here be seen that in order to fire or clean out ashes from therange, the storage room 8 must be entered, as wood, coal 0r other fuelis to be kept in this room. Thus, it can be seen that the range isreadily accessible to a person in the kitchen 9, but will create noundesirable condition n the kitchen as would certainly occur if firing,ash removing, et cetera was required on the kitchen side of the range.

While the foregoing specification sets forth the invention in specificterms, it is to be understood that numerous changes in rthe shape, sizeand materials may be resorted to Without departing from the spirit andscope of the invention as claimed.

Having described the claimed as new is:

In combination, a range and a partition wall having front and back sidesand adapted to divide two rooms, said wall having an opening therein,said range having its front side extend-v ing through said opening insaid wall and flush with said wall so that the front side of the rangeis accessible at the front of said wall while the back part of the rangeextends rearwardly from the back side of said wall, side walls and aback wall rising from said range, and a fume removing canopy above andextending from the side and back walls to form therewith an enclosureopen at the front side and accessible through said opening.
